DIGITAL STORYTELLING: PHOTOSTORY 3

TUTORIAL: ADDING TITLES AND EFFECTS

You can add a title or text to any photo in Photo Story. We're going to add a title to the first photo, the parade of suffragettes:

In the text box, type the title: Remember the Ladies. Notice that it appears in black type in the middle of the picture. Not good. Let's fix it. Click on the text button and when the dialogue box opens up, you can change the size, color, and style of the font. Make it large enough for a title (suggest 18), choose a color that will contrast sufficiently with the black and white of the photo (suggest yellow) and choose a font style (your choice!) that pleases you:

When you have made your selections, click OK and they will be applied. Looks better, but still not great. The title is still sitting in the middle of the picture. Let's move it up so that it won't obscure the view. Click the top vertical alignment button: (the first one) and the title will move up to the top. Click Next to move on to customizing motion -- the real pzazz of this program.
